The charts below show local government expenditure in 2010 and 2015. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Each one of the two pie charts in figure presents data on total allocation of resources from the government among 9 common economic points in a political agenda. The surveyed years are 2010 and 2015. Despite not having total numbers to judge how total expenditure has changed, the two charts clearly show two scenarios where allocation of resources moderately decreases for the major sectors such as education, healthcare and defence, in favor of areas that were little relevant in 2010. In particular, education, healthcare, pensions and defence used to absorb the largest shares of government resources, respectively 24%, 21%, 19% and 17%. Thus four sectors cost more than 75% of total expenditure. On the other hand, welfare received 8% of government funds, 1/3 of what education received. The government also used to register 5% of total expenditure in interest paid on borrowing. On the contrary, 2015 witnessed a shift in resources towards welfare and interests on debt. The former increased by 5% to 13% while the latter doubled touching 10%. It should be noticed how the major sectors of focus for the government recorded multiple falls. Education and Defence saw a downward trend, losing 3% of total funds allocated in 2010 (respectively 21% and 14% in 2015), while healthcare lost a modest 1%. The portion of funds allocated to pensions did not change as it remained at 19% also in 2015.
